Why?  What could possibly motivate such a being to create or do anything?  God knows everything and can do everything.  God is complete and unchanging.  How could such a being possibly have any motivation whatsoever?

Why does God do stuff?
Why has God done stuff?

What motivates the doing of stuff given his all knowing nature.

I would ask what does Jesus say was the reason.

We are told love is the key to all of this. We are created to be loved, to love, and to love God.

Yeah, no.  I'm not really asking 'why' God does stuff, but how it is possible for him to do anything at all.  Actions depend on motivations, and a perfect Being can't have motivations.
